The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.

Created by Tomohito Oda | MoreLess about Komi Can’t Communicate

Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi’s greatest dream is to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling social anxiety for cool reserve. With the whole student body keeping its distance and Komi unable to utter a single word, friendship might be forever beyond her reach.

Tomohito Oda won the grand prize for World Worst One in the 70th Shogakukan New Comic Artist Awards in 2012. Oda’s series Digicon, about a tough high school girl who finds herself in control of an alien with plans for world domination, ran from 2014 to 2015. In 2015, Komi Can’t Communicate debuted as a one-shot in Weekly Shonen Sunday and was picked up as a full series by the same magazine in 2016.

It’s culture festival time! As third-years, Komi and her classmates can opt out of participating in order to focus on exams, but Komi (at Najimi’s instigation) convinces everyone that they should enjoy one last festival together. Now it’s Komi’s job as class rep to make sure everyone works together to get their booth ready in time. Can a girl with a communication disorder wrangle so many unique personalities, or will the culture festival turn into a culture flop?
